There's a few older threads on here about finding high-back booster seats (the new legal requirement for kids below a certain height) that fit in the rear of the GranTurismo. I thought I'd post my findings for all those that use their Maseratis as practical family wagons...
Few seats fit very well in the back, mainly as a result of the deeply bucket'd base. Previously I've been resorting to a cushion to fill the void, but I wanted something more permanent, and which made use of the Isofix fittings. So after 45 mins of hilarious Carry-On esque grunting and jiggling in the back with a very helpful young Mothercare seat-fitting girl, I found that their own Palma seat fits perfectly. The profile of the base and the angle of the back couldn't fit any better. It even has Isofix.

It's even quite smart to look at, and apparently very comfy. Feels like decent quality, too. Shame it's not a few shades darker to match my interior trim, but I'm being picky now.
The only slight snag is that the isofix release mechanism is very hard to see or reach once installed, making removal a bit of a faff (certainly if you have big oaf hands like me). But that's Future Dave's problem...
Anyway, hope this is helpful to some of you.
